What should you wear to an interview to show you are serious about the position but also a cultural fit - aka not a square?

Take your typical business casual attire and deconstruct it without looking messy or sloppy. Swap out slacks for higher-end jeans. Make sure every piece fits well and is coordinated. If you wear sneakers (creatives) make sure they're fresh and clean. Same with other street wear- street is good, but worn-out is never.

Totally depends on role and your personality. Take the same and edgy outfit and put it two different girls, one of them will look stupid in it.
Think about your personality and what you want to convey. I interviewed at Disney's and wore a really tailored outfit, all black, with these rad yellow shoes. It was conceptual! As a creative director, that's what I wanted to convey.

Good luck. Hope you get the job and leave Carat soon. Don't look back!

Additionally, and I think this is important. Ask ahead about which clients you'll be working with and adjust accordingly. If you're going to work with a cosmetics brand, demonstrate that you get cosmetics and fashion. If you're going to work with a bank, tone it down and make sure you're belted and tucked.

Ditto @CD1. I find black jeans and a (not necessarily bleak) jacket have worked out very well for me in the past. Looks nice and polished but not suit stuffy

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
